Choose them wisely

Words define you:

long or short,

simple or difficult,

how and when you use them.

Tell me,

do you fill your sentences with

beautiful and flowery language?

Or do you get straight to

your point?

Short and sweet.

Do you shout out

obscenities?

Or is your language

censored?

Do you use your words to

say something deep and meaningful?

Or are you just filling the

silence?

Pause for dramatic effect.

No.

Wait.

There isn’t enough time, you must speak quickly.

Say what you want, when you want.

Actually.

Please refrain.

Use your filter.

Different words,

Different personalities.

What are your words?

inspirational
